  "account": "Johor Darul Ta zim (JDT) have set a world record by going unbeaten in 109 consecutive league matches. The Malaysian club began their Malaysian Super League season with a 3-0 win over Kuching City in the Charity Shield at Sultan Ibrahim Stadium on Friday. Goals from Marcos Guilherme, Oscar Arribas, and Shahab Zahedi secured the victory. This record surpasses the previous mark of 108 matches, previously held by ASEC Mimosas of Ivory Coast between 1989 and 1994. JDT's Spanish coach, Xisco Munoz, expressed the team's ambition to become part of football history with the win. The Southern Tigers have remained unbeaten in four Malaysian Super League campaigns since April 2021. JDT, aiming for their 13th straight league title, will look to extend the streak when they face Kelantan Red Warrior FC on Wednesday.",
